Hexle's definitely got more replayable-value for casual players, & a valuable contribution to painting-in the whole possibility-space. But, it has a lot of competition for such casual-player-hours! I personally still like Bytle better for its conceptual/instructive qualities. It may be more likely to enjoy an evergreen slow-burn of interest as part of math/CS curricula. For example, 'Bytle solver' would be a baby-step towards many other lines-of-learning – including, eventually, Wordle-solvers.
